An Open Letter

Dear weight,

I know we have been down this road before.  We have said good-bye (many, many times), only for me to welcome you back with open arms.  You have been my friend, my security blanket, my comfort; but I MUST say a final farewell.

I know my history with toxic relationships.  I know that I have always gone back.  But not this time.  I see this morning that you left your little message (via the scale).  I deleted it, choosing not to acknowledge it or reply back.  You are out of my life for good.

You can send all the messages you want, I will reject them.  You can try to invade my thoughts, I will change them.  I am stronger than you.  I choose ME over you.  I choose my health, my family, my life.  You are no longer welcome.

Good-bye FOREVER,

Me
